Francine, is well acquainted with multitasking, juggling many aspects of her life simultaneously, and always managing to squeeze in just one more thing when asked. She has a degree in psychology but has always been drawn to alternative modalities, and as such, has certifications in various healing therapies. Francine works in finance and with the public, for over 30 years while simultaneously establishing her own part time business in the therapeutic field. Writing has always been in the background of Francine’s life. The pace of her life and the energy that was required from the demands of not only her job but her caretaking of family members were all amplified during the last couple of years with the onset of the pandemic. Francine’s house of cards came crashing down when her way of existing became no longer viable. Her denial of her burnout and acknowledging her anxiety and depression delayed her healing process. Grasping at what came innately to her, Francine returned to her love of writing as a means to express what she was hoarding deep within her. The result of which is her riveting debut book of poetry, “Emerging from the Chrysalis”. In her book, she captures and draws the reader into her journey from the erosion of her life, deep into the bowels of despair and hopelessness and the subsequent transformative healing process that her writing imbues. She bestows upon the reader, the knowledge that they are not alone and that with help, they can begin to reshape their lives into a more healthy and balanced way of being.
